Commercial
cPanel Hosting
I
strongly recommend that you get a good commercial
hosting package, for example from:
I use HostingShop.com.au
and recommend their cPanel packages
A
cPanel (Control Panel) package looks like this:
As
you can see, it enables a lot of fancy stuff that
I don't use, such as Chatrooms, Password Protection
etc. I do, however, use and appreciate such functions
as the easy Mail administration, the Hotlink protection,
Addon domains (only an extra $10 for each extra
domain you host through the package), Subdomain
statistics. All great value for only $125pa.
Within
about 24 hours of your buying a cPanel Junior
package through my link, you'll get several emails.
Two are very important for you to keep. One will
have Domain Management details (eg an enetica
login) and the other will be called Welcome
to Hosting Shop and will have your cPanel,
Mailserver, FTP and other important details.
To
Setup new Email Accounts:
From
the cPanel, Mail > Manage/Add/Remove Accounts
> Add Account > Create
Once
you've created it, you can check the
email web-based from hostingshop.com.au
although remember that until you clear the mail
off your server, it will be using up some of
your
Hosting package's webspace. For this reason,
it's best to actually "Pop" the mail
down from the server to your lsocal computer,
for example
using Microsoft's Outlook or Mozilla's Thunderbird.
I'm not going to go into detail about how to
set
up a New Account in the various email clients
available, but it's worth noting that your ISP
(who you pay for your internet connection) probably
prevent you from using any Outgoing Mailserver
other than their own, so you'll need to have
that set to whatever they specify.
